After leaving the Academy, Kilo squad made their way to Seahorse Hills. A rich neighborhood located in Halvo city. The COG army tried to evacuate all the civilians but they were overrun by the Locust. Inside Amador Park, Kilo Squad ran out of ammo but found Gnashers and Sawed-Off shotguns that belonged to a wealthy citizen personal armory.[19] Moving up the street in Amador Park, Kilo ran into a group of Locusts that came charging at them. The Gears of Kilo squad had to move in close with their shotguns to take out the Locust in close range combat. The Locust in the end where no match for the Gears. Making their way through the area, the Gears took out mortar teams shelling Professor Elliot's mansion, which had its own defense systems. Knowing they couldn't get past the systems themselves, the Gears took an alternate route to the mansion, taking out the three mortar teams along the way. Finally, Kilo Squad reached the secret entrance which Sofia knew about due to her relationship with the Professor. Entering the mansion, the team found Elliot dead of a suicide and set Troy to work on cracking the mainframe to get the launch codes for the missile. Unfortunately, hacking in caused the defense systems to go off-line, allowing the Locust to breach the mansion. Kilo was forced to defend the inside of the mansion and Troy from repeated waves of Locust troops while the bot tried to get the codes. Finally, after killing many Locust, including a Berserker, the attack stopped and Troy got the needed codes. With the codes, Kilo left for Onyx Point to arm the missile.
